A WATER SPOUT BURSTS.
And Causes a Great Deal OF
Damage

WEST HoovERsvILLE, Pa, June S.-A
Hood yesterday was caused by the bursting
OF water spouta West Hooversville, Som
erset county, Pa, village ON the line of the
Somerset and Cambria railroad The village
is entirely under water and the destruction
OF property is great. Many thousand logs
belonging to the Latrobe Lumber company
passed to sea last night Several bridges
We're carried off. Kernville bridge was part
ly destroyed. The one at COopersdale was
entlrely swept away. The destruction of
property is enormous, but the amount can
not be ascertained now. At Hooversville
the work of the flood is appall-
ing, Upwards of twenty residences were
washed off their foundations and deposited
on the ground. AT least 100 families in this
village alone lost everything in their
houses. The water having subsidized, the
scene today Is one of decentralization and
ruin. Yards and streets are blocked with
debris and rubbish. Houses are filed up
with water-soaked goods and mud, and mul-
tltudes Of women and children stand about
weeping and mourning over their ruined
homes. In Grubbtown, Conemaughboro,
Worthwhile, Minersville, Cambria City and
Coopersdale, the same scene Is presented
and 1t is estimated that in Johnstown 2C0
people are temporarily rendered homeless
and dependent for shelter on the charity Of
their more fortunate neighbors. No estimate
can be made Of the damage at present, but it
VIII reach an enormous sum. No lives were
lost as far as known.

FOR BLAINE.
Action of the Republican Club Of
New York City.

NEW YORK, June S.-By its action on the
report presented by the committee on ma
tional affairs the Republican club of New
York tonight apparently pledged its sup
port to James G. Blaine in thes canvass Of
1888. The report began with a suggestion
that the club turn its attention from futil
attempt to reform the Democratic administra-
tion to perfecting the party organization in
readiness for 1888. 1t says conference with
the leaders of the Irish-Americans whe
voted for Mr.. Blaine in 1884 discloses that
they will again vote for him and prefer his
nomination to that of any other man and
also recommended that the club to
disseminate protection literature. John S.
Smith moved that the report be referred
back to the committee with instructions to
strike out the attempt to boom Mr.. Blaine
he said he voted for Mr.. Blaine in 1884 and
would vote for him again, but deplored any
direct or indirect endorsement of a
candidate in advance of the con-
vention's action. Mahlon Chance ex-
planned that the report simply stated facts
that the names of Foraker and Sherman
were suggested to the Irish leaders. They
however said they emphatically preferred
Blaine as the only man who had excited the
disapproval of their English enemies. After
further discussion the question of recommit-
ting the report was put to vote, but only
fivei members voted to send it back. On
the question of its adoption but one vote
was cast in the negative.
